Local bands doing ’80s power ballads sounds like a helluva good time to me. This theme night has been going on for 10 years but I was always afraid to attend because when I think of ’80s power ballads, I think of hair metal and my biggest fear was that some might do covers of [...]

W.A.S.P. is a band I have only had a passing affiliation with over the years. I never listened to them much in their heyday. I am not sure why this was, they certainly have a sound and swagger that is right up my alley. I did have a copy of The Headless Children that I was quite fond of, but that is as far as it went. Years later, 2005 as a matter of fact, I saw them headline a bill of metal acts that...

In the early '80s, the guys of L.A. Guns were proudly members of the dirtier subset of Sunset Strip denizens. Acts like Poison tarted themselves up in blush and aimed for pop crossover from the beginning, but the Guns and their fellow sleaze-rockers were almost more punk-inspired. The L.A. Guns w...

Last night's little sortie of mine back in to the Glam Rock era, courtesy of Ace Frehley's cover of Sweet's Fox on the Run seemed to generate some interest and fun. I decided to pursue this a little further tonight but have chosen something for you by a much lesser known band formed in the late 70s. A five piece by the name of Girl who to the best of my knowldge only made two albums before they split....

After a pretty stressful day it was off to Camden for Toni, Sam and I to see L.A Guns and SPiT LiKE THiS plus others. Started off with some yummy food in Wagamama before drifting off to the Underworld. When we arrived we had a quick chat with Vikki Spit (and Cyndi Rott) before meeting with Matt and Becky ready for the sleazy awesomeness that was to follow. Becky and Matt: Toni and I: ...and now ladies...

I've been investing a little time and money in some music books lately, and if you have a look around you can find some great ones out there that I've never seen plugged in music mags or the like - Borders is particularly good for them, and that's where I bought both of these. The first is simply called All Known Metal Bands . And that's literally all it is. A long list (on black paper, natch) of a...
